When a fixed term lease ends, it is terminated. Thus, a tenant does not have to give notice of leaving at the end of a fixed term agreement. He only needs to advise a landlord between 3 months and one moth prior to its expiry if he intends to remain in the property which he may do by rights gained after 6 months in the property.Our tenant has come to the end of his one year lease. He gave me one weeks notice by text he was leaving and now i am left trying to find a tenant. Am i obliged to return his deposit?
